Chapter 2371: Treasure Sinking Coin

Salamay couldn't believe what she'd heard. Just how powerful was the Monster Lord? Why would he ever be facing inevitable death?

It wasn’t just her. All of the other monsters in the temple were also shocked. For thousands of years, the Monster Lord had been like a great mountain that forever towered above them, akin to the tallest mountain and the biggest river. Even though they were enemies, they still admired his strength a lot. How could he be pressured by a native of a weak world like this to such an extent?

“If it were any other world, not even ten regents would be enough. But in this world, the Monster Lord’s strength has been greatly reduced. Furthermore, the regent can use the will of the world to help him fight. As the fight goes on, if he doesn’t have any other tricks up his sleeve, the Monster Lord might really be finished,” Mojard said with a complicated expression. He didn’t know what kind of emotion to feel.

Normally, he would be happy to see his greatest enemy, the Monster Lord, defeated. And yet now, as the Monster Lord's death was approaching, Mojard felt a strange sense of emptiness. Besides that, judging from the current situation, it seemed that if the Monster Lord died too easily, Mojard's own faction wouldn't meet a very good end either.

Salamay’s eyes flickered. She was thinking about the same problem, hoping that those two destroyed each other. At the same time, she secretly spoke to the True Demon great elder to try to rope him in.

However, even though the True Demon great elder opened his mouth to speak several times, he didn’t say anything in the end. He was clearly still hesitant.

Naturally, the women in Pei Mianman’s group were the happiest. Judging from the monsters’ analysis, didn’t that mean Ah Zu’s victory was already secured?

Only Jing Teng said coldly, “It’s still too early for you to celebrate. How could that Monster Lord be killed so easily?”

...

In the sky above them, the Monster Lord was extremely ffocused. When he looked at the giant sword towering in the sky, even he found it hard to breathe. He instinctively wanted to hide, but he immediately sensed that he'd been locked onto by the will of this world. No matter where he tried to escape to, this sword would still continue to hack down at him. It was impossible to avoid!

In that case, he'd be better off remaining in place and defending against this sword directly. And yet... If this were another world, he would have a way to take it head-on, but this was a special world. If he clashed with the sword in his weakened state, he'd be completely unable to avoid being cleaved in half.

How could a sword that condensed an entire world's power be so easily blocked?

Just then, Zu An raised his right hand high into the air. Then, he gestured downward in a slicing motion.

The giant sword seemed to have received orders, crashing down toward the Monster Lord. Wherever it passed, it cleaved through space itself, leaving behind chaotic spatial tears that resembled black holes. It was as if the blade could cut the entire world in half.

The Monster Lord took a deep breath. Suddenly, a copper coin appeared in his hand. With a flick of his finger, it quickly flew above his head.

The coin was only the size of a button. Compared to the giant golden sword that spanned the entire world, it was as insignificant as a speck of dust. However, it continued to float above the Monster Lord and quickly spun around, releasing waves of invisible ripples.

A second later, the majestic giant golden sword's irresistible momentum seemed to fade. It lost control and landed off to the side.

Boom!

Countless giant mountains in the Demon race's territory were cut in half by the giant golden sword, leaving behind a deep ravine filled with wild and berserk energy.

The mountains and fields were home to a lot of powerful beasts, but even the slightest touch of the sword energy reduced them to ashes. Some were near the edge of the valley and barely managed to escape the initial strike, but once the berserk energies reached them, they became frenzied before exploding into bloody mist.

The ravine reached all the way into the horizon, slicing through countless massive mountains before the golden blade gradually disappeared, leaving behind only the Tai’e Sword.

Zu An was a bit surprised. In that instant, he'd discovered that he actually lost the connection between himself and the Tai’e Sword. That was why his incredibly powerful sword strike hadn't managed to hit his opponent.

With a wave of his hand, the Tai’e Sword returned to his hand. He sighed in relief. This sword was the key to Mi Li’s safety, so he didn’t want any mishaps to happen with it.

He looked at the Monster Lord and asked, “What kind of treasure is that?”

“Do you think I'd tell you?” The Monster Lord wiped at the cold sweat on his forehead, trying not to bring too much attention to the action. That terrifying sword really had given him a taste of death. Fortunately, he had this treasure!

Still, he felt some regrets. It seemed he'd still ended up underestimating the regent's strength and this world’s unique characteristics. Evidently, this really was one of the legendary Wonderpoint Worlds after all! It was no wonder that the Lord of Slaughter had expended such effort to attack this place, even preparing so many backup measures.

If the Monster Lord had known things would be like this, he would’ve already killed Zu An in the Monster World. That way, he wouldn’t have had to fight so bitterly now.

Back in the temple, all of the monsters were extremely shocked. Salamay quickly asked Mojard, “Uncle Mo, do you know what kind of treasure that is? Why haven’t I ever seen the Monster Lord use it before?”

Mojard shook his head. “I just remembered something. Once, we suffered a lot of casualties among the soldiers and generals when we were conquering a mysterious world. Back then, the Monster Lord personally set out. It was rumored that he obtained an extremely powerful magical artifact that left him extremely pleased. Because of it, he even granted a great amnesty to the world. It was probably because of this artifact.

“As for why he never used it until now, it’s not too strange either. With his strength, who could even force him to use this treasure?”

Salamay sighed. “With such an incredible treasure, father might’ve lost even if he were still here.”

Meanwhile, Pei Mianman and the women were also asking Jing Teng about the artifact. She had an extraordinary background and had kept many powerful monsters in check, so perhaps she knew something about it.

Jing Teng gave Pei Mianman a glance.

This woman wasn’t even willing to call me big sister earlier, and yet she’s now going big sister this, big sister that. How ridiculous.

She harrumphed and said, “I haven’t seen it before either. But it’s a bit similar to a certain legendary object...”

...

Up above, Zu An frowned. He seemed to have remembered something too. With a wave of his hand, golden ripples covered the entire sky. Circular sword formation diagrams appeared in the air, and golden sword shadows slowly emerged from the ripples. In the blink of an eye, countless weapons filled the air. Shortly after, they crashed down on the Monster Lord like roaring waves.

Forget about a person, under the barrage of these countless weapons, even the tallest mountain peak would be completely destroyed until there was only powder and dust left.

Shockingly, however, all of the weapons lost their power mysteriously halfway through their flight and fell from the air. As they were made using the Rune Weapon Chart, they scattered into nothingness as they landed on the ground.

Pei Mianman and the others were all nervous when they saw that. Ah Zu had used several of his most powerful skills in a row, and yet they were all easily dealt with by the Monster Lord. The situation didn’t seem to be favorable to him at all.

Zu An’s eyes landed on the copper coin above the Monster Lord’s head. A look of realization appeared on his face as he exclaimed, “So it was the Treasure Sinking Coin, no wonder!”
